Artist Kahlo's personal items go on display in Mexico

A full collection from Kahlo's wardrobe will go on public display on November 22 in Mexico City after being locked for nearly 50 years in her armoires and dressers: jewelry, shoes and clothes that still carry the scent of the late artist's perfume and cigarette smoke or stains from painting.
